This is especially important in a city like Lima where public transportation options are limited and often not very reliable.

The historic Indian Lake State Park, for example, is just a short drive away and is a great place to go fishing, boating, or hiking. If you're feeling adventurous, drive Lima car rentals to nearby destinations such as Cedar Point or Lake Erie makes.

Columbus Airport (CMH) is approximately 80 miles from Lima. The rental car companies at CMH are located at the Car Rental Facility, which is next to the parking garage. A free shuttle service runs 24/7 between the terminal and the rental car facility, and the shuttle service picks up passengers outside of baggage claim on the ground level of the terminal building.

I like how easy was to pick up the car and drop off. On the other hand the car was fully scratched, with many details. As an ok experience.
